THE PREDICTION
Top seed Barbora Krejcikova takes on second seed Jelena Ostapenko in a potential thriller on Sunday, with the pair sharing a 2-2 head-to-head record at tour level. World number 17 Ostapenko has fought tooth and nail to be in this final after four-successive three-set slogs this week, with her comeback over Anastasia Potapova on Saturday the most impressive of the lot. World number 12 Krejcikova has enjoyed a far more comfortable route to the final without dropping a set but that may end up a hindrance if Ostapenko has enough energy left to come in battle-hardened and not fatigued. Ostapenko has won each of their last two encounters after a straight-sets result in Rome last month but this first clash on grass will be a fascinating way to split their record. Ostapenko has earned at least a set in each of their last three matches since the start of 2022 and given her results this week that looks a suitable way to avoid picking a winner here. If forced, Krejcikova looks the very slightest of favourites on her much superior record in finals (6-3 to the Latvian’s 5-8).
